It's no bother composting kitchen scraps when you have this convenient tumbler near the back door. Our compact composter is sized just right to handle food scraps, and with a few quick spins, turn them into rich garden gold. When your compost is ready, just wheel it out to the garden. The big hinged door makes access easy. Tubular steel frame has rust-resistant powder coating.

This compost tumbler is the perfect size for smaller yards. With the attached wheels you can bring the compost to where it is needed which is a plus. If you are not an experienced composter the instructions give guidance and recipes for a successful compost.

Everything is great about this composter EXCEPT the time it took to assemble. And the manufacturer's quality control was sadly inadequate. Certain parts did not have the tabs indicated on the directions. We'd recommend it ONLY to people, like us, that have extensive assembly experience and can figure out work-around solutions.

We bought two, and had to take each one back apart because the alignment of the door section with the aeration holes is critical, and the instructions were not clear. The holes for the screws of the sides to the container did not align very well. But so far they work pretty well, they rotate easily and the compost is cooking.

This has worked reasonably well, although it does smell and it composts slowly.

First, though, the wheels fell off from the weight. Then the metal frame rusted. And now, the plastic connection to the frame has broken making the composter no longer airtight. We'll be replacing with a different model.

I'd recommend with reservations. It will get you started on composting.

I love my back porch compost tumbler! Actually, I have two! I use them for all my kitchen scraps, leaves, plant trimmings, coffee grounds, etc. They are easy to turn for aeration (no need for turning with pitch fork). When one is filled, I start filling the second one. That way I always have compost for my garden. They are small enough to be unobtrusive but large enough to produce a decent amount of compost. Also, the wheels allow me to roll the compost tumblers closer to where I will be using the finished compost. I highly recommend this compost tumbler.

I just love the fact that we don't throw away all those kitchen scraps. They go right out to the composter. When I first started, I had trouble with moist, smelly "YUK" for compost, but figured out I wasn't adding enough brown stuff. So I simply started adding in a good amoung of brown leaves every week, and the compost reduces by about 50% in less than a week. It is never smelly now, it is easy to access and easy to turn and mix. When the composter is pretty full, we shovel it out into a pile that we mix with potting soil and aother additives, then start all over in the compost bin. We recommend it. It is a little pricey, but is perfect for a small back yard. We just bought another one for our son who is starting to garden.
